BWP Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) Wanted 2004 Barford World Final video footage. Unfortunately problems with the Barford video mans equipment means that there was no official recording of last years World Final at Barford won by Bill Batten, In light of this I have taken it upon myself to hunt down F2 fans who filmed the race from the banks around the track in an attempt to put together a video of the WF race/meeting to keep my own collection (and possibly others) of F2 world final races in tact. Fellow race fan Waz has is also keen to re-live the race once more so much so he has offered his services if people where to forward with footage. Waz has recently started filming at meetings he attends and uploads clips to 'Stoxnets' video page see; http://www.stoxnet.com/videos/author.php?r=587 (Author Waz29) Waz is wiling to edit together any footage that is passed his way, the more footage the better the end product would be. If you do happen to film the 2004 WF or meeting please get in touch with me, it was a good WF race with the likes of Batten,Moodie and Goldin mixing it from the start, Goldin loosing time and clawing his way back only to get into trouble again and again whilst Sworder, Thakra, Kitson, Farrell, Thompson battled away. Just as 167 looked to be home and dry a stoppage bunched the pack up with Batten nearly buried himself on the first bend of the restart Broach slipped by and lead the race despite starting on the back of the grid. Some Batten bumper work moved the local man aside to claim a forth gold on his 57th birthday! Its almost enough to bring a tear to your eye and nearly criminal that a video or DVD of the occasions isn't available/doesn't exist for future generations to see for themselves. Once again if you have any footage please get in touch this is going to be a work of love NOT profit. Thanks. Email. baz@bwplive.com Edited May 25, 2005 by BWP

JohnMid Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 Fantastic news given that there were plenty of signs telling anyone who dared to hold up a camera would get booted from the track. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

(Not that I can condone such behaviour, he who dares and all that! lol.)
